Ever since I watch this movie, I've been thinking at how we really have neglected God. For some of you who have not known, this movie is actually based on the bible, well written by C.S. Lewis into a Fantasy Fiction novel. Indeed it was the Dark Times of Narnia at this point in time. It also shows basically our own normal life. Here we see, Narnia with Aslan missing and the Kings and Queens of Old were blamed for leaving Narnia. This depicts what we feel whenever we are down and when things do not seem to go our way, we feel exactly how the Narnian's felt.
The great thing about this movie was, the old enemies have join forces with the Narnian's like the Minotaur, used to be under the White Witch's command, have now join the ranks in the battle of the Telmarines(hope i got it right). And in this whole movie, its all about seeking God and how we foolish it may be to others. Yet sometimes God's Calling is just right in front of you, its just like how Queen Lucy put it "Perhaps you weren't looking for Aslan." Thats the thing that hits the nail on the head.
When you needed a direction, you pray, yes you pray, and in the end? You can't see God, you can't feel him, why? Either you were busy trying to be your proud self? Like Peter the High King when he was suppose to find a way to re-group with the other Narnians. But in the end, nearly lead them to the main army of the Telmarines. Lucy depicts the Mary from the Mary and Martha. She is always seeking God wholeheartedly, no doubts about God even when he's not around. Yet the moment she seek Him, Aslan, in the end she brought peace to the whole of Narnia. This goes to show one thing, you seek God, He's there, and when you really seek him because you love him, all things shall be added. Lucy was not afraid of the enemy at the last part. She knows, Aslan is with her. Its the same with our life. We have God on our side, whom shall we be afraid?
The movie also touch on the issue of temptation once again. She tempted Prince Caspian and in the end when High King Peter intervene he was also tempted. The good news is, even when you are tempted, its always great to have a best friend, your brother in Christ to save you from the lurch of evil. King Edmund was once tempted and he knows that no good will come from accepting the Witches offer. He immediately broke the spell with no hesitation and saved the High King from being tempted.
Other than that, Peter the High King knew he made a lot of mistakes, so does Prince Caspian, and in order to ensure victory over the vast army of the Telmarines, High king Peter went mano a mano with the King of the Telmarines. Peter wins the battle.
Besides I think this whole movie talks alot about Redemption as well as Forgiveness. Caspian's people were the Telmarines. Only he is able to set things right for he was the only Telmarine who have heard of Narnians. He was campassionate, thoughtful, a worthy fighter and a humble man. Even when he had vengeance in his heart, he did not kill. He may be tempted, but he is still able to guard his heart. A person who rises above and overcomes problems. That's how we have to be, no matter what the cost.
